overview

ah i found it, did a search in the archives.

one thing i don't understand. in the overview patch, there's a color box in the background on the objects. why can't i move it? never did understand why it's stuck to a certain position in the patch.

Check to see if "Lock Background" is active in the View Menu. Then all objects in the background can't be selected, resized, moved, etc. Handy for patching, especially if you want a panel behind stuff and don't want it in the way all the time. Unlock the background and you can then edit those elements.
